This book summarizes the qualitative theory of differential equations with or without delays, collecting recent oscillation studies important to applications and further developments in mathematics, physics, engineering, and biology. The authors address oscillatory and nonoscillatory properties of first-order delay and neutral delay differential equations, second-order delay and ordinary differential equations, higher-order delay differential equations, and systems of nonlinear differential equations. The final chapter explores key aspects of the oscillation of dynamic equations on time scales-a new and innovative theory that accomodates differential and difference equations simultaneously.

The qualitative theory of dynamic equations is a rapidly developing area of research. In the last 50 years, many scholars have studied the oscillation theory of ordinary, functional, neutral, partial, and impulsive differential equations. Many books deal with oscillation theory, but in a way that appeals only to researchers already familiar with the subject. In an effort to bring the topic to a new and broader audience, the authors clearly explain oscillation theory for second-order differential equations. They include several examples to illustrate the theory and to inspire new direction. This text is ideal for students and researchers in applied mathematics, engineering science, and numerical analysis.

Interest in the mathematical analysis of multi-functions has increased rapidly over the past thirty years, partly because of its applications in fields such as biology, control theory and optimization, economics, game theory, and physics. Set Valued Mappings with Applications to Nonlinear Analysis contains 29 research articles from leading mathematicians in this area. The contributors were invited to submit papers on topics such as integral inclusion, ordinary and partial differential inclusions, fixed point theorems, boundary value problems, and optimal control. This collection will be of interest to researchers in analysis and will pave the way for the creation of new mathematics in the future.

Packaging materials strongly affect the effectiveness of an electronic packaging system regarding reliability, design, and cost. Electronic Packaging: Materials and Their Properties examines the array of packaging architecture, outlining the classification of materials and their use for various tasks requiring performance over time. Applications discussed include interconnections, printed circuit boards, substrates, encapsulants, dielectrics, die attach materials, electrical contacts, thermal materials, and solders. The book also reviews key electrical, thermal, thermomechanical, mechanical, chemical, and miscellaneous properties as well as their significance in electronic packaging.
